US Patent 11860792 Memory access handling for peripheral component interconnect devices

Systems and methods for memory management for virtual machines. An example method may include receiving, by a host computing system, a memory access request initiated by a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device, wherein the memory access request comprises a memory address and an address translation flag specifying an address space associated with the memory address; and responsive to determining that the address translation flag is set to a first value indicating a host address space, causing a host system input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) to pass-through the memory access request.
